 If Friss could have done that on the home 1 grounds he could have run for alderman anc | had walk over. Many of the smiles in th, audience were far from beaming, and tht I sports who before the game wanted to be l two to one that Hartford would win dropped f their jaws. The 200 spectators certainly | looked diseonsolate. One man looked ovel ] the back of the grand stand and said h. \ would rather watch the small boys play | Just before this inning a man in the grand
 stand had put up $20 against $10 on New l Haven, and when Friss made the home ruI | he smiled and said nothing.

 New Haven II, Hartford 8. Would New
 Haven maintain the leada Leary kept hi.
 head cool and did not get rattled under tht
 trying circumstances. It was tight game
 Everyone was working his hardest to win. Hartford had but two more innings anc
 she must make four runs to tie the score
 The spectators did not lose heart. Two men
 had flied out, when Beecher got his base or
 balls, and when he stole second
 and third everybody thought hs
 would surely score, but Divens hi
 foul fly to Helfer, who took 1t in. In thii l inning Troy flied out Then Helfer, after nearly knocking the cover off the ball in making fouls over the fence, hit long one
 10 right field. AS it went along everybody | stopped breathing for second. Would i | go over the fence? The wind was against it Johnson ran for it. He put out his left hand | just before it would have struck the fence | foot from the top. Cheers rent the air Johnson had caught it. It was a brilliant | catch. The hit would have been good for two or three bases, but Helfer had to wall back to the bench.

 anythinga Sullivan hit bounding ground CT to Friss. Will he make wild throw ! No; Sullivan is out at first. Johnson makes | a base hit, and when he steals second anc | scores on Farrell's base hit the spectator | howl and howl.

 'Run back, run back" shouts severa | Hartford players to Farrell, who has go I nearly to second. A nice chance for a double | play. Will he make it? is asked. But the | fly is little too high. Two men are out with | one on first.
 While Keefe is waiting for a good bal Hackett steals to second Keefe gets hit 1 base on balls. A base hit may tie the score | The Hartfords are confident and cheer aftel | cheer from the spectators goes up. Now fol | your life, Collins.
 Collins hears it. He hits the ball ani both Hackett and Keefe start to move up
 The ball is batted to Old Reliable Troy: Th' | grand stand makes it so dark and the ball Ii coming so fast that he can hardly see where
 the ball is. If he fumbles it the game Ii probably lost. But he does not. He touches
 keefe running to second. The side is re
 tired. The New Ravens did not need to pla,
 out their half of the inning.
 There IS no shout to greet this play. Tn,
 New Ravens stood victors of the field. I
 they had been in New Haven they woult
 have been fairly carried from the field. Bu
 they walk quietly off to the dressing room
 and are afterward driven to the Park Centra
 where all have supper. Manager Troy hat
 worked so hard in trying to win that he hat
 to order two suppers for himself. All tn
 players felt good-they all smiled Lear,
 smiled, too. If the game of ball he pitched
 in Hartford yesterday could have beer
 pitched in New Haven he would have nc
 trouble to-day in getting into the Assembly
 without half trying, if he should run. H,
 was in great form yesterday.
 Hartford did not die easily. It was one O.
 the hardest struggles for victory tn, diamond this season. There were many bril- liant plays. The New Ravens batted Reef
